After begging the cops for months to arrest him — yes, you heard that right! — Chicago rapper Adamn Killa finally got his wish this week ... sort of.

Chicago PD officers cuffed and detained Killa on Monday after he interceded in a police traffic stop Downtown while telling cops to "arrest me, Daddy," according to the Chicago Sun Times.
